This trip allowed me to score $171.47 completely free, and I left the store with $34 in ExtraBucks, and earned an additional $5 in Beauty Bucks that will print in a couple of days. This made this a $39 money maker for products that my family needed.

There were many things that I do on a regular basis that contributed to the success of this shopping trip. Take advantage of the many savings opportunities at CVS and watch your savings grow.

Toys R US is having a fantastic sale on games that ends today Wednesday, December 19th. The sale is buy two Hasbro games get one free. I love games and strongly encourage everyone to start a family game night.

Did you know that some stores allow you to stack coupons? This means that you can combine a store coupon and a manufacturers coupon on the same item. For example Target allows you to combine one Target store coupon and one manufacturer's coupon on the same item. Example: If I have a Target coupon for $2 off of Huggies diapers and a manufacturer's coupon for $2 off of Huggies diapers I could use both coupons on the same stack of diapers.

Coupons vary by demographic region. The Savannah Morning News and the Bluffton Today are in different regions, so each paper receives different coupons. Which coupons we will receive is decided by the manufacturer of each product, not the newspaper. The papers receive many coupons that are the same each week, but they also receive coupons that are unique to that paper. Sometimes they receive a coupon for the same product but the values are different.

Here are a few fun FREE things to do this weekend.

This post was created in partnership with Bi-Lo. All opinions are my own.

Bi-Lo contacted me to see if I would be interested in submitting some healthy snacks for Valentines Day. They were offering bloggers a $50 gift card for posting about the event and two $25 gift cards to give to my readers. I love my readers and in the spirit of Valentines Day I'm hosting a contest and readers can enter to win the $50 gift card and the two $25 gift cards. At the end of this post you will find directions on how to enter the contest.

I have compiled the advertised prices on meat and sea food from area stores and the prices from several Walmarts in the Effingham and Chatham county area. The charts below are sorted by type of produce and by price. Please spread the word to your friends; friends do not let friend's pay full price!

Coupons are distributed by region. Not all regions receive the same coupons. Which coupons you receive in your region is determined by the manufacturer. The Bluffton Today and the Savannah Morning News are in two different market regions, therefore each week they receive some coupons that are the same, and some that are different.
